I had a semi-stroke of sorta genius while i was thinking about my newly acquired mountaion of LCs I tested last night. I fired up an LCII and got a chime and a grey screen but no more. I discovered it had no VRAM. The LCII is fairly primative comapred to the 840av so the 840av may test for good VRAM before the chime and stop if it detects a fault. Pull ANY VRAM off the board that is in the slots. If it still fails to start I'd SUSPECT a VRAM failure in the soldered bank :(. -- Mark Benson Vintage Macs List Nanny http://homepage.mac.com/markbenson http://fpm.gotdns.com -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
